6 Architectural Buildings in Dhaka City That You Shouldn't Miss
Densely populated and humming with activity at all hours, Dhaka is a city of contrasts between old and new, rich and poor, industry and folk. From the concrete National Parliament House and ultramodern Bashundhara City, the largest shopping mall in South Asia, to the 17th Century Lalbagh Fort and the open markets along the city's side streets, these contrasts vividly shape the city. Visit the many mosques, temples and museums for a taste of Bengali culture and history.

The National Assembly building complex in Dhaka designed by the American architect Louis Kahn (Kimbell Art Museum, Texas; Art galleries in Yale) from 1963 till his death in 1974 and finally inaugurated in 1983, is widely considered one of the masterpieces of architecture of the 20th century. While from the outside it is very impressive, the real drama unfolds in the interiors, where a 100 feet high space bathed in light from various angles, and animated by ramps, bridges and other elements, wrap around the central chamber which itself is awe-inspiring. There is a visitors section at the Assembly building which conducts guided visits (passports required, no phones, no photos) usually from 10am except weekends, without any prior permission. They can also take visitors to see some of the adjoining buildings. Call in advance to avoid disappointment, for a visit to remember. Very highly recommended.
